- [Instructor] When you first start up Fusion,…you are put into this blank slate here.…You are in the model environment.…If you click the arrow down here…you can go to the different areas…that we'll be talking about in different videos.…But you're in the model environment.…I'm just going to click on this box right here,…and it offers which plane you want to start on.…So this plane right here matches this plane right here…that says Front.…This would match right, and this would match top.…Usually if you're like me and you'd like to build…from the top up, I would select this plane right here…and then draw some sort of box on that,…and we'll get into how to use this a little bit later.…

This is navigation cube up here.…You can click and drag anywhere you want on this box…to rotate around, or you can click on these names…or letters like Left to go to the left,…and these arrows will rotate around…to the front, to the right, to the top,…and this rotates it so you're still on the top but rotating.…If you want to go back to an isometric view…

Design differently with Fusion 360. This cloud-powered tool from Autodesk—the makers of AutoCAD, Inventor, and Maya—is the key to instant 3D creativity, used for computer-aided design, manufacturing, and engineering (CAD, CAM, and CAE). This essential training gives you the expertise to use Fusion 360 to turn your ideas into ready-to-manufacture designs. Nick Kloski provides an overview of all the basic operations in Fusion 360, including sketching, extruding 3D objects from sketches, 3D modeling, sculpting, and surface modeling. He explains the functions of the software, while providing a solid foundation in the basics of effective 3D design. Learn how to plan a project; model your ideas; work with sketches, meshes, and surfaces; generate files for 3D printing; and run simulations on your designs.

Note: This course was created and produced by HoneyPoint3D. We are honored to host this training in our library.
